Mission and Strategic Plan

The American Community School of Abu Dhabi is a nonprofit, college preparatory institution driven by student learning. In partnership with parents we empower students to define and shape their futures.

Learning

Learning empowers. People have equal intrinsic value. Diversity with respect is a strength. People flourish in safe and caring relationships. Ethical and responsible conduct is fundamental to sustaining our society. Transforming dreams into reality requires courage, initiative and commitment. People are responsible for their choices, actions, and the consequences that result.

Admissions

Our goal in the Admissions Office is to make the process of applying to ACS as straightforward as possible. Whether you are applying from the other side of the world or across town, we want to aid you during this process by being welcoming and helpful.

Tour participants should plan to arrive five to ten minutes before the tour begins.

All tours depart from the Admissions Office.

Please bring a valid ID (adults only) with you to exchange for a visitor’s badge which you will need to wear while you are on campus.

Our campus tours include a number of staircases and, unfortunately, no elevators. Please keep this in mind when you are deciding whether or not to bring small children. Strollers can be left in the Admissions Office during the tour.
